GEORGETOWN, Texas – Southwestern posted 603 yards of total offense, including 320 on the ground, en route to a 37-7 victory over Austin College in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference opener on Saturday afternoon at Birkelbach Field.

The Pirates (2-3, 1-0 SCAC) scored in all four quarters to earn its first-ever SCAC win.

In addition to Hover, four other Southwestern players found the end zone.

Jahmaal Dumes posted an 18-yard score to end the first quarter and give the Bucs a 10-0 lead. John David Bishop scored on a five-yard run in the second period.

Hover's lone trip to the end zone was a five-yard rush in the third quarter, extending Southwestern's lead to 23-7.

Alyas Ramirez and Chris Demny both registered their first collegiate touchdowns in the final quarter on four- and one-yard runs, respectively.

SU got on the board on its second drive of the game, as Luke Fierst booted a 46-yard field goal.

The Pirates limited the 'Roos (2-3, 0-1) to 191 yards of total offense. Austin College managed its only points in the second quarter, when Cooper Woodyard connected with Tom Clancy for a 36-yard score.
